“ On Bit.”
Correspondence of the CouriuJoaroil.
Pasth, Aognat 1,1873.
I see m the Daily Telegraph of this morn
ing a picturesquely insinuating editorial con
cerning the Shah’s tour in Italy. The writer
sets out by quoting the exclamation, “Asaex
da Shah," which a sated Parisian hurled at
an itinerant "ballad-singer in the Champs Ely-
sees the very evening of his Majesty’s de
parture; and having made some witty bnt
purposely ironical observations on the ever-
changing mercurial nature of the French,
who weary of everything except the Boule
vards, he falls into a strain of hap
py, jocose adulation of that teautiful
land into which, at this season, the
tun showers a perpetual and universal
rain of petroleum, of that beautiful land
wherein from the Alps to the Adriatic, and
from July to October it is a constant broil,
causing one to feel like a fried potato which
is without lard to keep it from sticking to the
bottom of the pan. On those grounds the
Shah is congratulated that, being fond of
cold drinks and having started on his travels
with a mind to take all the chances, and enjoy
everything, he will be as comfortable and as
pleased under the burning olive trees of
Vicenza, as ho was under the pavilion in the
Trocadero, which he said reminded him of
Teheran more than all else that he had en
countered. Finally, our satirist thinks it
nhould be a source of infinite pride and satis
faction with Christian people everywhere that
this great Pagan monarch, this king of kings,
goes back to Persia enchanted with his Euro
pean experiences, having quitted the scene of
one triumph to be only the more delighted
with the next.
There is, beneath all this, a dreadful, a
cruel joke on the lespectability of England
and the perspicacity of France. Russia can
stand it because Russia is at once remote and,
socially, reckless. Beside, the court at St.
Petersburg speedilyjand unceremoniously got
rid of the Shah. Germany can stand it be
cause the Germans were merely passing civil.
But England, which put the big pot in the
little one, which devoted Buckingham Palace,
the Queen’s town residence, to the Persian’s
entertainment, which tuft-hunted him as only
the English can tuft-hunt a prevailing lion,
and France, quick wilted and ready to be put
upon by an execrable heathen confidence
game! It is awful. There is a broad grin
spreading itself over the lace of Europe.
Briefly, the Hhah is said to be a dead-beat
He is pronounced not only a dead-beat but he
is a dead-beat of genius. There are those
who declare him a fraud—no Shall at all—only
an advertising agent of Reuter. This is, I take
it ,a calumny. He may be the speculative
Barou's middle-ma n ; but he is still the ruler
over that squallid. lice-covered and diseased
country, which is famous chiefly as having
given the world Darius and the cholera. Here
after it will better be known as the home of
Nasr-ed-Deen, the peer of Victoria Woodhnll
and the superior of George Francis Train.
I will tiy to tell you the story as they are
now telling it everywhere over here.
It seems that the Shah ^first showed his
cloven paw at St Petersburg. He was
standing at a bay window with the Princess
Dagmar. Her Royal Highness observed that
the diamonds worn by her Asiatic companion
were exceeding rich and rare. “ Not so rich
nor so rare,” said the gallant Shah, “as
yours,” throwing arm about the Princess’
royal neck. Now, a scientific Princess is
usually a woman of spirit, and, in addition to
this professional character, the Princess Dag
mar is a good girl. She raised a royal row
about it, and, among hands, they hustled the
amorous Persian out ot the country upon
down gra b*. Wisely, however, they kept their
mouths shut. They said, “He has sold us; we
don’t want to be the only dupes; let him go and
sell our enemies.” The ever-ready Naar-ed-
O t -en was willing enough, and, emboldened
by his escape, he augmented the measure of
Lis during. Ensconced in Buckingham Pal
ace, the virtuous dwelling of a widowed
Queen, he began a career of unbridled licen
tiousness. The worst characters were picked
up on the streets and carried into Victoria’s
private apartments. Bruisers and cock
lighters were introduced to the halls of
Stat3, there to exhibit their art and skill.
All night long, and every night, there was
an orgy in which the Shah and his
suite made themselves as free and easy as
though free-love were the law of the land.
But this was by no means all. The
Jving-of-Kings, not to be outdone in liberality
by his entertainers, bought huge quantities
of jewelry, hiking some of it away with
him and leaving behind him many costly
presents. The presents the jewelers have!
Lsrk again. Bet vb&t tha Shah took !
away with him they will never see any more, j
It is even said that, whilst in Paris, some of;
the members of his suit had to be remon- j
strated with torching their desigus on the |
plate of the palace in which they were!
lodged. |
To aii this, it any of it be true—and where ;
there is so much talk there must be some ;
truth one is disposed to say, “ served them j
right.” There was never a more absurd, and, j
in some respects, a more unprincipled and ,
demoralizing theatrical performance than the
series of pageants, ovations and honors which j
greeted this filthy Asiatic vagabond, from his |
advent into Europe to his exit into Persia. !
That he insulted a Russian Princess; that he
befouled the home of an English Queen; that
he swindled a gaping riff-raff of boot-kissing
jewelers, would seem to be a most natural
tiling for such a varlet to do. His personal
behavior was conspicuously ill-bred and un
bearable. He did only what the whim of the
moment suggested, regardless of persons,
usages and consequences. He paid not the
smallest attention to his entertainers except
as it suited his caprice. His table manners
were particularly bad. He would take op a
peach, bite a bit of it, and throw the remain
der on the floor, ne would suck a plum of
about half its juice and drop the pulpy sub
stance on the cloth. In all things he affected
the King-of-Kings, wrapped in the mantle of
his own heathen originality and dirt.
A good many years ago, Away down in the
wilds of Tennessee, Tom Neal, of Dyeisburg,
di-vcovered a darky who had found a bag of
diamonds hid in a hollow log (originally it
W: s a bag of gold, but for present purposes it
will answer better as a bag of diamonds.) 1
took from the first a spiritual and imaginary
iutere. t in that darkey, stealing him away from
Albert Roberts, who had dramatic desigus on
him, and carrying him through a series of ex
traordinary adventures. At proper intervals,
I took bim to Mexico with Maximilian, aud
made him Duke of the Empire; carried him
to Bazriue, and made him the
keeper of au American bar in the
Rue de la Paix, and finally left him with
Theodorus in Abyssinia. I never wrote a
line about that darkey that was not iu.mcdi-
ateiy gobbled up by all the newspapers. At
lost I got to hall believing my own romance
or rather Tom Neal’s—and at this moment I
um almost persuaded that toy quondam col
ored Tennessee hero is the Shah ot Persia. I
observed a striking likeness between the two,
aud I am sure that one of these days it will
come out how Baron Reuter caused the real
Shah to be privately assassinated; how having
become acquainted with our Tennesseean,
and finding him a man of parts and experi
ence, he smuggled him into Teheran, and
how, wishing to advertise his Persian railway
scheme in Europe, he planned this recent
visit.
Be this as it may, Nusr-ed Dcen is a mas
ter spirit. He is the premium confidence man
of the day. If he is descended from Darius
he has a right to claim that he has done what
Darius conld not do—overrun Europe. I am
a little foggy about these historical points, ex
cept where 1 make them myself; but it strikes
me that Darias was rather loose both in his
money matters and in his morals. No odds
for tr»«jt; Nnsr-ed Deen is a success in his line
of l v , aess. He is fit to be the hero cf the
f/ic opera of the day. and, as he has
u «rf^Tr” < »vignred in a London farce, why might

ants to get even on the old ac-
^ ;e is a noble chance. He may re-

log and uuiUr''4'onnessce and Persia by a dra
matic link of ufchtic and diamonds “surviving

MB BURIAL PLACE OP ZACHARY TAYLOR.
From the Loalirille Courier-Journal.
Between fire and six miles from tbs city, on
an obscure neighborhood road, ft quarter of a
mile from the Brownsboro rood, reet the re
mains of the twelfth President of the United
States—Zachary Taylor—whose name was
once upon all lips, and whose praises sound
ed from one end of the country to the other.
The grove is situated tn the northeast cor
ner of the Taylor farm, and it is mortifying
to relate that it is in R sadly neglected con
dition— nnderbmsh, weeds and ailantus trees
rendering it very difficult of access. No
monument has ever been erected to Gen.
Taylor’s memory. The remains lie there in a
plain vanlt bnilt in the side of a hill, with a
marble slab over the door bearing the inscrip
tion :
• £ TAYLOR: *
; Bor},- Nov. 24, 1784;
5 Can July 9, 1850.
The service rendered by this brave, good-
natnred old soldier, deserve monumental rec
ognition. A gentleman who recently visited
the grave said to a reporter of this paper
As I stood there with head uncovered, my
mind reverted to boyhood days, and I remem
bered a solemn funeral cortege at Philadel
phia, the city in mourning, public buildings
and private residences draped in black, a hash
all over the city, sadness depicted in every
face, for great, brave, old General Taylor was
dead. The whole natioD, in fact, mourned
his loss. Twenty-three years after this I find
myself at his grave near Louisville, and am
impressed with the fact that the nation’s dead
are soon forgotten. ”
The place does indeed appear forgotten. A
stone wall encloses the little grave-yard, and
a rusty and unused iron gate frowns upon the
visitor. It evidently has not been opened for
years. Coh Richard Taylor is buried to the
right of Gen. Tsylor. An obelisk, eighteen
feet high, is erected over his grave, bearing
the inscription: “Col. Richard Taylor, a sol
dier of the Revolutionary war, and a native
of Orange county, Virginia; bom April 3,
1744; died Jan. 19, 1829."
Col. Taylor came to this State while his
son, Zachary, was an infant, and settled on
the plantation where he is now buried.

Hoffman, Advertising Agenta, of Baltimore,
.‘dating that payment had been for the pres- j
* ut suspended. We aIbo elated that if the
experience of the Southern pre«« was similar
to our own, most of the papers had lost con
siderably by the euspeiifdon. At that time
we bad received no deficit* or aatiafactory
proposition fora liquidation of outstanding
claims, and it seems that we unintentionally
did in justice to Mr. R. H. Griffin, who has
Hignifled a willingness to make an equitable
settlement of the business. We make this
uifiende oi our own free will, in simple justice
to Mr. Griffin, believing, with all the lights
before uh that his intentions are honorable.
He baa entered actively into burinet* again,
os an Advertising Agent, in the city of Baiti-
. more, and will doubtless have lerge transac
yons with the Southern i rees ’—JSavanna’i
